djspooky

The goddamn hot pockets man! I couldn’t stop laughing.

Haley Amplo

Oh boy I’m close to getting caught up!

The End of Time (AKA Theo the Minotaur)

Me laughing so hard at the DS. Lmaoooo

Kaileigh Rose

Vile

Alex

The dip spit has me wheezing

Jacob English

The DS was the first bit in the entirety of naddpod, including all main and side campaigns and the entirety of patreon content up to this point, that disgusted me so much that i actually had to pause the pod

Cain Catto

Murphy play magic the gathering with me I will also use a deck built only from stuff I find in hot pockets

Why do ya’ll know so much about hot pockets?

Emma Edmunds

“Tales from the Yawning Portal” is also a fantastic collection of one shots for all kinds of different Character Levels!! 🤙🤙

Brandon Wiens

for me, wisdom would definitely be knowing when to bite into the hot pocket and not burning your mouth on molten cheese

Adri

Caldwell has to share where he got this silent tea pot

Charisma represents your force of will, strength of soul and your ability to exert yourself on the world. This is why it impacts both your social skills and your saves against things like banishment which directly targets the soul of a creature (which is why a creature not native to a plane can be banished forever; the plane you belong to has everything to do with where your soul is attuned). As it pertains to D&D, “Charisma” is mostly interchangeable with “Willpower.”

MrMach6

omg emily imagining the fire giants as elden ring fire giant... that's perfect lmao

jacob kessler

I’m so glad the Hot Pocket joke deviated into MtG cause as soon as hot pockets were brought up I just sat here going DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THE MTG SPONSORSHIP

Nova

I'm sure this has already been mentioned to you before, but if not, next time you're in the UK, you may want to check out Heinz Beanz Pizza - https://www.iceland.co.uk/p/heinz-beanz-pizza-403g/91112.html

I def try not to bring up casual homophobia in conversation.

Part of what is captured with the charisma attribute is one's force of will. It is your force of will that is allowing you to escape the magic prison just like being a charismatic leader of a nation means enforcing your will.

Finding out who your advertising partners are on the short rest is always a surprise. Hearing how the other half lives.

I dm professionally to kids, so I actually use tomato’s to explain the stats quite like you did with hot pockets: Strength: how many tomatoes can you lift. Dexterity: how accurately do you throw tomatoes, and how good are you at dodging tomatoes thrown at you. Constitution: how many rotten tomatoes can you eat without throwing up, and how many unripe tomatoes can you be hit with before you collapse. Intelligence: knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom: knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma: the ability to convince someone to eat a fruit salad with tomatoes in it.

Nitzan Harel

And Laura! And could you imagine Ashley Johnson?! I do have a soft spot for how Prism and Deni$e have interacted and would love for Aimee to come by

Petri, no not that Petri, the other one.

I think the D&D movie did a great job of explaining the Sorcerer being a Charisma caster as more of the confidence needed in doing said magic.

Petri, no not that Petri, the other one.

Who would have thought Matt to be more chill than Murph, a known normal dude!?!?

Petri, no not that Petri, the other one.

Was looking forward to them addressing the ds controversy and it did not disappoint

Ilana Galpert

Can we get a t-shirt that has "I found the Bean Rat in the Irondeep tunnels" with a sort of crytpid artwork of the bean rat?

Hot pocket taste test when?

Craig M

Griffin McElroy's already done a commencement speech (at his alumnis)

Hailee Henson

Hey! Happy Father's day Jake and Caldwell!! And of course our beautiful Daddy Murph

Ben Wilcox

I met the guy who made the hotpockets logo. I had an artist visit with him

Aiyana

Charisma sort of feels like Force of Will, or Force of Spirit to me. Like, similar to the sanity/power mechanic in Call of Cthulhu, a charisma saving throw is a measure of how strong your spirit is, your sense of self, your identity, your personality. You can’t be banished easily because your sense of your place in this world is so strong and rooted that it would take serious force to drag you away from it

faizaan723

Is it just me or does every short rest devolve into conversations about food

Liam Cornell

Strength: How many boxes of hot pockets you can carry Dexterity: How fast you can eat a hot pocket without any falling out and staining your shirt Constitution: How many hot pockets you can eat in one sitting Intelligence: Knowing how to cook the perfect hot pocket in the microwave so the middle isn’t frozen Wisdom: Knowing you need to let the hot pocket cool down or blow on it before taking the first bite Charisma: How well you can persuade the cashier to accept your expired hot pocket coupons

Abe C

Speaking to the charisma conversation, I’ve personally thought for a long time that sorcerers should have their casting stat be constitution, because their magic comes from their bloodline, their literal body, but it’s technically a physical stat so wizards didn’t make it a casting modifier…. As a paladin player who is a charisma caster I’ve always thought of charisma as his force of will or personality casting magic, not necessarily hotness or ability to talk to people

Ian juarez

Has anybody made the joke about it being homophobic to trap Jaina in a box during pride month yet? If not, know that this is me doing my solemn duty as a lesbian; I take no joy in this.

Sounds like murph homebrewed forcecage into imprisonment and even included the pokeball material component.

David Kuckuck

lol, S/O to Emily for seeing my "vile" comment on the patreon post

Hannah

Wisdom is waiting the right amount of time for them to cool down

Nathaniel Levy

So when can we expect the mixed bag of them all trying and ranking hot pockets by how sick it makes them?

Hue

Emily you’ve been so good on CR!!! Way more than just a skill check monkey, Prism is so excellent. It also makes me want Marisha to guest on NADDPOD so bad!

tacticalgrandma

I remember being around 7 years old and taking a nice big sip of my favorite pop, Sprite. Turns out my dad used it as a spitter. Made me cringe throughout the ep just thinking about it

Ben Wilcox

I had an ex (emphasis on EX) who would leave bottles laying around with their Dip spit all the time. There was once he switched out my iced tea for an old spit bottle...... i noticed way too late. That was over 10 years ago and i still cant drink that brand of tea again 🤢🤮🤢🤮 On a side yet related note, every time they shortened it to DS, i just kept thinking the acronym DSL and laughing 🤣 (specifically the one that means lips and what they suck)

Helena BabaYaga

During the DS bit I kept saying to myself while I was working, smile. This makes me smile. So smile!

Shane H

In my mind, GoT nailed the size of a giant

Connor Dub

We need a Mixed Tea Bag episode

Declan Konesky

The amount of fans who have Dipspit related trauma is insane (as one of them)

Kresh

Dipspit is a soda if you aren’t a coward.

Kresh

I believe in the last dnd court they said they backlogged a bunch of eps so main campaign will continue

Kresh

Man, Murph really likes hot pockets.

miguel cantu

I loved all the dip spit jokes!

Nesve Fowl

Since unknown player wasn’t able to make it to the recording(and I don’t know how long they’ll be out) will there be sub-arc until they return? Knowing me I missed the announcement.

Nick_Nack_Patty_Whack

Next live show I manage to make it too, I'm going to bring a spittoon and try to get every fan to spit into it so I can then ship it to the PO box

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

Since you were also mentioning Gatorade I thought Dipspit was another American drink, that because of the name, the crew were maybe head-cannonning to be harvested by giants like Slurm from Futurama... I still choose to believe this is a US soda, please don't correct me, do not explain what it really is.

"Life is like a deck of many things -- no matter what you pick, you'll probably die" Yale commencement speech, 2031

m. white

Guess what? All those graduates at the Yale commencement speech were once the kids Murph told to crit on their homework. What a beautiful circle.

DC

Love the DnD stats with hotpockets. Usually hear the tomato version.

Canid

Hi Caldwell, when's the next Caldwelts coming out? I loved the "Caldwell Getting Whacked With a Whole Trout" episode. Thanks!

Yep, I'm getting PTSD flashbacks to when i was a kid and tried to steal a drink of my dads Pepsi and it being Dip Spit instead...

Omg i have such trauma of accidentally drinking my dad’s tabaco dip spit. And now I can not deal with spit lol.
